Robbie Owen, founder of Heroes For 6 Minutes, said: “This event is for people who have never boxed before and from all walks of life.

“They come out to their own music, do the big ring walk and then box in front of a live audience. This really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“There is a great camaraderie between the boxers that take part and they make new friends - there is a lot more to this event than just throwing punches.”
